I haven't done with steps per unit. But it stops when it hits the switch. The main problem is why it is only going with 10 rotation when push the z home.
Advise me about the same.
Thank you very much.

if you have not configured your steps per mm then it may think that 10 rotations is the entire size of the z axis, and will stop itself without the switch being activated as a safety feature.

there is a good tutorial on how to configure this
